Patient's question:
I started feeling that I had frequent nighttime urination and also frequent urination during the day. When urinating, I experienced a stinging sensation, but the amount of urine was not much, and I always felt like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder. My lower back, waist, and abdomen also hurt severely. I suspect it might be prostatitis. Please ask: What would be the best course of action if I have prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis primarily involves medication, mainly antibiotic therapy, supplemented by other comprehensive evaluations. Commonly used medications include erythromycin, cotrimoxazole, penicillin derivatives, and it is essential to quit smoking, drinking alcohol, and spicy foods. Proper sexual activity, weekly prostate massage, physical therapy, and hot Sitz baths can enhance metabolism, stabilize blood circulation, and alleviate symptoms. We wish you a speedy recovery.Prostatitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
